He can be prosecuted if he was trying to unlawfully detain the guy but I wasn't there so I won't judge him or question his right to defend himself. The 911 call from Zimmerman supposedly tells a different story. Some reports say the kid came at Zimmerman and that he did have injuries. I don't think that either of us were there so we should refrain from starting a Lynch mob or declaring him guilty. There will be enough of that from the poverty pimps and the media. Lets let the local grand jury do their job without a race-riot pressuring them to indict.

The legislator that created the 'stand your ground' law in Florida was on the radio this morning, and he said the law isn't intended to protect someone who pursues someone else and initiates a confrontation.
Florida's Republican legislature isn't about to remove this law from the books, but Zimmerman's actions are going to make it a lot harder for people in other states to get a 'stand your ground' law on their books.
